Apparently, reality show juggernaut (and potential Titanic) Project Runway is doing things a little differently this season: in a bid to wring every last cent from the show before it’s dragged kicking and screaming to Lifetime, Bravo is auctioning off every article of clothing that the current crop of talent-challenged tailors lay their clumsy little hands on.
What’s funny is that the winning bids are all over the map. Kelli’s clever vacuum bag ensemble from the first episode generated a whopping $1,025–plus shipping! Blayne’s annoying “Girlicious” thingamabob, however–which everyone said looked like a diaper, but I thought looked like a low-rent rehash of Mole’s “Wrasslin’ Rita” outfit from Desperate Living–generated $60. And the winner was “Blaynesmom”. Double-ouch.
And for those who don’t know/remember the Desperate Living reference:
(FYI: the fat older lady spectator with the bob and the headband who does the “Give her what for!” move is one of my favorite John Waters characters ever–and girlfriend doesn’t say a word.)
